Tke Peterkin Papers 0

By Lucretia P. Hale (18204900) ^
Ph 2-

Tlie Peterkins were a lovable but comically inept family tliat possess ingenuity,
y logic, resourcefulness, and energy — but not common sense. The general formula is 5
h3 tliat the family tries to solve some problem in an appealingly roundabout way, fails, P>
and is eventually rescued by the wise old lacLj f rom Philadelphia who always $
cuts the Gordian knot with some effective but prosaic solution. The charm
story is not in the plot, but in the telling, with the building up of layers of
complication, and the affectionate fun poked at the not^quite^cartooiiish
characters. The wise old lady s solution is usually obvious to the reader, or even
the young listener, from the start. (From Wikipedia)
